Let me ask you a question, how does hanging out with beautiful people and getting special favors sound? Great, right? If you want a lifestyle similar to that, you can either go out and get a record deal; or look as good as you possible can with what you have today. If you don't have a naturally muscled frame that's alright - all you need are determination and motivation to achieve your goals.
Let us start with the basics: how to build bigger muscle. Exercise, those involving heavy weights particularly, puts tears in the muscle tissues. When you go home and rest, these little tears are then repaired by your body. As they are repaired, hormones are released to develop the same muscles to withstand the more stress thus creating the bigger and stronger muscles that you see. To get that body you want, below is a solid weight lifting workout that you can use right away.
Always do some warm up exercises before working out. This stimulates blood flow to your heart, lungs and muscles; moreover raising your body's temperature for optimal training performance. If you plan to bulk up, do only 10 to 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. Stretch before, during and after your workout to minimize soreness the next few days.
There are quite a few exercise equipment and drills available for your training. What is crucial is that you study and plan the factors that make up an effective workout program to fully maximize the muscle groups worked on that day. Some of these factors would be the frequency of training, reps and sets performed, and weight loads to be used.
As you start, try 2 to 3 sets of lower weights done in 12 reps. The weight is chosen according to the load that exhausts the target muscle by the 12th repetition. Use more manageable weights first and experiment on succeeding sessions on what will work best for you personally. If the aim is to build bigger muscle then rest between sets should be about 60 to 90 seconds only.
Ask any professional trainer and they will advise a two to four day split training on specific muscle groups. You can either split between the upper (arms, back, chest, shoulders) and lower (legs, stomach) body; or between muscles that work together. Always train the bigger muscles and work your way down to the smallest to ensure that you get the most out of each workout session.
These are some drills you can use for your workout: Stomach- crunches and leg raises Arms- dips, close-grip bench press and barbell curls Shoulders- dumbbell rear felt flyes and military press (standing and sitting) Back- lat pull downs,T-bar rows and deadlifts Chest- barbell bench press, decline bench press and incline bench press Legs- lunges, leg presses and squats
Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water especially during workout sessions so that you won't be dehydrated as you train. Always make time for cooling down and stretching after training. For unusual pain (soreness not included) in joints and muscles, consult your trainer and therapist as soon as possible. Now you have a weight lifting workout, you have no excuse not to have a great physique. Live right and enjoy!
